Prostatitis develops after forty and sometimes thirty years, when a man is most active in work and in the family, and a decrease in potency can significantly undermine his self-confidence, not only in love, but in allareas of life. Prostatitis itself is not contagious, but one of its causes is that sexually transmitted infections can spread to the patient's sexual partners.
Main reasons
Several factors contribute to the development of prostatitis and the resulting decrease in potency:
- Prostate stagnation. It is one of the main causes of prostatitis. Irregular or promiscuous sex life contributes to stagnation of secrecy, and a sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activity causes blood stagnation. The result of both processes is the same - swelling of the prostate gland, increased pressure in it and violation of its functions (production of secretion and regulation of ejaculation).
- Uncomfortable temperature conditions of the external genitalia. Overheating and hypothermia adversely affect men's health, tight underwear and uncomfortable pants also have a negative effect on potency. All of this reduces sperm viability.
- Sexually transmitted infections. This is another danger of disordered sex life. The appearance of an infection against the background of prostate congestion leads to inflammation, sometimes with serious consequences.
Preventative measures
Prevention of prostatitis in men should begin in childhood with the formation of hygienic skills in boys, the ability to choose the right underwear and dress for the weather. These are the main points that will allow you to be less susceptible to harmful effects on the prostate in the future.
In young men and adult men, the prevention of prostatitis consists of a regular sex life, preferably with the same partner, physical exercises and a healthy diet. It is important to get tested regularly for sexually transmitted infections and to treat them in time, especially if the man frequently has unprotected sex. It should not be protected by the method of interrupted sexual intercourse - this leads to stagnation of prostate secretion, moreover, it is far from the most reliable method of contraception.
There are special exercises for the prevention of prostatitis, they are quite simple, and most of them can be done without getting up from a chair. The essence of these exercises is to tense and relax different muscle groups of the perineum, thereby eliminating blood stasis in the prostate and other organs of the small pelvis. Hiking, running, squats, sports games (football, volleyball, basketball) are also useful, in winter - skiing and skating.
Drugs used to increase potency, such as the famous Viagra, can also be considered the prevention of prostatitis in men, but only if the dosage is strictly observed. Excessive doses, as well as the use of Viagra without subsequent sexual intercourse, on the contrary, lead to stagnation of prostate secretion and increase the risk of prostatitis. Drugs used in our country to prevent prostatitis and increase potency have the status of dietary supplements, that is, they are not considered drugs and are not subject to certification. These include such domestic products as Men Support and Prost Plus, American drugs - So Palmetto and Pro Formula, and many others.
To prevent acute prostatitis from becoming chronic, it is important to cure sexually transmitted infections quickly and completely, avoid unprotected sex with random partners, and treat acute prostatitis in time.
Treatment
If prostatitis is diagnosed, it should be treated as soon as possible, since acute prostatitis that is not cured in time tends to become chronic. To do this, use drugs that are available in the form of tablets. Also, rectal suppositories are used - they relieve inflammation of acute prostatitis or exacerbation of chronic prostatitis, reduce swelling of the prostate gland due to congestion, anesthetize surrounding tissues and help administer thefaster active substance to the prostate through the wall of the rectum. You can take them as prescribed by a doctor, even at home.
Transrectal prostate massage is also used for the treatment and prevention of prostatitis. The simplest method is digital, when the index or middle finger is inserted into the rectum in a glove lubricated with a special water-based lubricant, the lower lobe of the prostate is determined by touch and several intense pressures are applied thereapplied. The upper parts of the gland during massage are not affected. Due to the disadvantages of the finger method and the disgust associated with it, there are prostate massage simulators.
Do not lose their value and exercises for the prevention of prostatitis, they speed up the treatment process, and they are also the prevention of chronic prostatitis, which can occur with acute prostatitis that has not been completely cured.
Home treatment for prostatitis involves a healthy diet - high-fiber vegetables, lean meat and fish, plenty of fluids, limiting alcohol, especially beer. Moderate physical activity and regular sexual activity are desirable. Folk remedies are used: resorption of balls of pumpkin seeds and honey, elderberry juice, decoctions of hazel leaves and bark, chestnut shells. And yet the recommendations described relate more to the prevention of prostatitis in men than to its treatment. Folk methods allow you to maintain health and well-being longer.
All methods of prevention and treatment of prostatitis are effective in combination, the use of one remedy will not give an instant effect, so it is important to use them together and most importantly - as directed by a doctor.
